i'm wondering me; and pondering us

i'm wondering me
and pondering us
not now seeing
but thinking of stars

how far they are
how high they seem
how cheap we've made ourselves
for You to redeem

we were scarlet in sin
now we're white as snow
sacred blood, so carelessly spilled
so aimlessly wondering, amidst its flow

i'm wondering me
and pondering us
was it all worth it,
when You got Your scars

Yours is no place for a mind
a heart for numbers; profit and gain
Yours is a mystery
unwritable, untamable

who are You, and who am i?
but show me yourself, before anything else
show me yourself, and i'll have nothing else

have i told You before
how much i need You, 
how much i want to want You?

yes i have, a thousand times over
and still, i repeat that prayer
which reaches further than stars
words are words, and i'll be me
while i wait for You
to release me from my skin

i'm wondering me
and pondering us
but now, no need for that
when i'm here, with the First and the Last
